Re: Official CD/LP purchases thread

So I was digging in Mill Valley today and came across a first press (promo, actually) of Miami by the Gun Club. I already own this record but it sells for significantly more than what I paid for it and I would be happy to sell it at a discount if anyone on here is interested. PM me for details.

LP:
Aerosmith - Get Your Wings
The Gun Club - Miami
Tommy James & the Shondells - The Best of Tommy James & the Shondells
Jerry Lee Lewis - Live at Third Man Records
The Pogues - Rum, Sodomy & the Lash
R.E.M. - We're Having a Heavenly Time: Recorded live at Page Auditorium

It turned into Ghost + Beckett + Tame Impala - Lonerism. I'm already happy with the purchase, and I think I'm gonna wait to listen to the Ghost album until it arrives. I just know I saw tons of people I trust going nuts over the fact that they're releasing a new album this year, and I want to orient myself.

Re: Official CD/LP purchases thread

Nope, we're talking the metal band. I've not yet heard them, but the way they've been described (Mercyful Fate + Watain + Sabbath) was enough to convince me to snag a $15 first press of their first album.

I'm not at all sure what Japanese Ghost is up to at this point. Kurihara has been doing all the second guitar stuff with Boris for so long that he's basically a member of the band, and it makes me wonder if they're going to continue. I'd love to track down Hypnotic Underworlds.

If he's still playing with the Pink Monkey Birds, you'll be very pleased. We booked him 7 years ago (damn...) and it was great.

Went to Atomic (again) today because they just received a huge collection of rockabilly, hillbilly, western swing, R & B and doo-wop albums; they only have about three bins worth processed so I'll be back in a few days to check it out. I don't know a whole lot about this kind of music, but the guys working there seemed excited about it so if you're into that kind of music it would be worth the trip. From what they had I picked up:

The Clash - The Clash
Spinal Tap - This Is Spinal Tap
X - Under The Big Black Sun
The English Beat - Special Beat Service
The Blues Brothers- Briefcase Full Of Blues
Black Sparrow Press ‎– Half-Ass Romance (I really have no idea who this band is, but the sleeve is screen printed, hand stamped and hand numbered (29/115), is printed on red vinyl, and had a bunch of cool inserts which seemed hand-made as well)

From a DFA sale:

LCD Soundsystem - Sound Of Silver

Re: Official CD/LP purchases thread

CD's:
David Bowie - The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars
R.E.M. - Green
Rockabye Baby - Lullaby Renditions Of The Smiths (what a gem. the front cover is a teddy bear with a helmet on but instead of "meat is murder" it's "music is magic")
